No. They have different TV formats. The US use NTSC and our TV's are PAL.
The only way to get around this is to either copy the DVD to your computer and re-burn it in NTSC format; or make sure that the DVD player is Multi-region.
Audio CDs are not an issue, as they do not have region encoding. Commercial DVDs are often region-locked. DVDs from different regions cannot be played on a DVD player from outside their region. Most DVD players have the ability Tobe unlocked, allowing them to play DVDs from all regions.
Generally you can't use a DVD from one region in a player from another. In this case, Europe and North America are different regions and most players are programmed to not play any disc from another region. The restriction is purely a commercial one, designed to prevent discs being exported to other markets.
There are a few discs that do not have region codes and there are also a handful of players that do not read the codes. However, the effort and cost of finding region free equipment normally far outweighs any benefit of playing any disc.
No they can't. Most commercial discs have a region code and players will check the region before playing. If the region code is not the same as the player, it simply won't play. This is a commercial restriction rather than technical and is implemented to prevent discs being traded outside their own region.
Unlikely unless you have a multi region player or the DVD is region free.
The US is region 1 whilst the UK is region 2.
If you have a standard US DVD player then it is unlikely to play on your player.
(It is possible to buy multi region players)
A Canadian DVD (region 1) should not work on a European DVD player (region 2).
There are six DVD region codes. A DVD from region 1 (which is for the US and Canada) will not play in a player from region 2 (Europe, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East).
This rather depends on where your DVD player came from. DVDs. Bluray discs and most disc based games have a region code embedded into the disc. Almost all disc players read the region code and will only play the disc if the region code for the player and the disc coincide. Region 1 disc (North American) will normally not play in a player made for region 2 (Europe).
The region coding also include sub region codes to identify individual countries and on rare occasions, the same restriction can be placed on sub region codes as well.
The region codes are only used for commercial discs. Home grown DVD content will not normally have the code embedded so they should cross borders without too much of a problem. Do be aware that Europe and North America use different video standards and although many players and televisions are multi-standard, not all of them are so you need to check that North American players can play European standards.
Most DVD players are multi region now so yes, unless your DVD player isn't multi region.
Yes.
It depends on the game if an American save will work on an Australian PS3. Many will not work this way.

Dvd-r or DVD+r are the most common types of dvds you can use to burn your own videos onto, you can also use a dvdrw which is a rewritable DVD, a dvdr usually says it can hold 4.7gbs of data, but in reallity it only holds just about 4.5gbs after formatting, most ripping software will also rip a dual layer DVD to a compressed rate of about 4.36gbs, so as to accommodate for the finished files to be able to fit on a dvdr, the best dvdr for me is a DVD-r, minus r dvds burn and work better in standalone DVD players as well as in computers, and most DVD burners these days are fully compatible with them, so your best bet is to get yourself some DVD-r's and start the burning, have fun.
because different formats play of different machines for example a mp3 will work on almost Anything but a wml might not work on cd or mp3 players and only other computers and stuff like that and other file types like ogg only work for games
DVD players or Blue Ray Players work.
American DVD won't work in Europe for two reasons. First, the color encoding system is different. Although North American and European color encoding work in similar ways, they are not compatible. The major issue is that commercial DVDs have a region code imbedded in them. A DVD coded for the North American market will not work in players made for Europe or other parts of the world. There are a small number of DVD players that ignore the region code but they are hard to find and normally have no manufacturer's warranty. It is far, far less complicated to simply buy the right DVD for the player.
First, Blu-Rays are not DVDs. People should not get the two mixed up. Blu-Ray discs will only play on Blu-Ray players and those will only work on HDTVs. Blu-Ray players can play DVDs, but DVD players are not compatible with Blu-Ray
Yes. Blu-ray players can play DVDs.
yes they do but burners are illegal
Yes. DVD players can play music CDs. Blu-Ray players can also play DVDs and music CDs as well
Blu-Ray players will NOT work on old TVs. They will only work on HDTVs
Blu Ray is a better quality type of disc to watch movies on. However, Blu Ray is not compatible with ordinary DVD players.
No. Blu-Ray discs are not DVDs and they will only work on Blu-Ray players. But there are portable Blu-Ray players
If a DVD is burned properly through a PC, the DVD will work in most DVD players. The DVD must be in the proper format. Depending on the brand, and model of the DVD player, the format must be readable.
Define Work what kind of work? US citizen can not serve British army but can do work in commercially
None of them. By definition, a DVD playeronly plays DVDs, it cannot record or copy them. And if you want to make a copy of your friend's store-bought DVD of Life of Pi, it won't work. Commercial DVDs are copy protected, and a DVD recorder will not copy a protected disk.
